It never ceases to amaze me that you can drive all over an area looking for wildlife, but you roll onto some type of national grassland, wildlife refuge, etc and suddenly there are birds, mammals, amazing scenery all around you, if you just learn to see it. The road we took was 942 off of HWY 59. It would be...

We decided to take this scenic route from the Black Hills to Grand Teton. A portion of it included the smoggiest valley we had ever experienced - it was awful! The rest, however, was beautiful with lots of pronghorn and gorgeous view.
